CHURN,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 606,806, dated July 5, 1898. Application filed June 26, 1897. Serial No. 642,467. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I I

Be it known that I, JOHN LIEBLANG, of

Amityville, in the county of Suffolk and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Multiple- Dasheifi Churns; and I do hereby declare the follow-.

ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others.

skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements'in rotary churns, and has for its object to pro vide a churn of this character with multiplied dashers which are rotated in opposite direction, thereby greatly increasing the agitating power of the dashers, by which means the churning is more expeditiouslyeifected.

' this specification, Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved multiple-dasher churn, the upper part of the casing being removed. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3is a cross-section on line X X of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line Y-Y' of Fig. 1.

In the construction ofmy improved churn I provide a cas'ing1," consisting of two preferably elliptical side portions 2, which are pro vided with sideand bottom staves 3, so as to form the receptacle zforthe cream.,- I next provide a top provided with fastening-but Adjacent to each end of each of the tons 5. v I 7 side portions 2, at their longitudinal center,

I provide apertures 6, suitable as bearings forv spindles 7, two of'these spindles. being projected from each of the side portions 2. The said spindles are passed through suitable packing-boxes in the apertures '6 in. such manner as to prevent the outflow of the cream within the churn. I next mount within the casing 1 and adjacent to each end" thereof upon each of said spindles 7 a rotatable dasher 8, each dasher consi'stinglof four radially-extended arms, the ends of the opposite arm portion on each side ofuthe casing being connected by transverse bars of any desired shape in cross-section best adapted for the agitationof the cream.

Upon the ends of three of the exteriorlythe same 'sideof the casing.

' projected spindles 7 I mount rigidly two small and one large gear-pinions, the small pinions being designated as 9 and 9 and the large gear-pinion being designated as 10, one of the said small pinions being mounted so as to be in engagement with the larger pinion upon Upon the side of the casing opposite thereto and adjacent to the projected end of the spindle, for which no pinion is provided, I mount, rigidly projected from the side of the casing and at right angles thereto, a spindle 11, upon which I provide a rotatable gear-wheel12, the same so mounted as to be in engagement with the small pinion upon that side of the casing. I also provide suitable key-fastenings for securing rigidly said pinions and gear-wheels upon their respective spindles. I next provide means for securing the rotatable dashers 8 upon their respective spindle. This I effect by a latch 13, pivoted in a suitable manner upon the inner surface of each of said dashers, adapted to be depressedinto a transverse slot 14, adjacent to the end of each of said spindles.

The gear-wheel 12 isprovided upon its outer surfaces adjacent to itsperiphery with a spin- 'dle rigidly'secured thereto, upon which I mount a suitable crank-pin 16.

The operation of my device is as follows: The dashers having'been placed in proper position and the gear-pinions secured in engagement with each other and with the gearwheel 12, the latter is rotatedby means of the crank-pin 16, which will cause the dashers S to rotate in opposite direction or toward each other. By such opposite rotation the cream .in the churn will be thoroughly agitated and the churning will be more expeditiously effected with the least amount of exertion on the part of the person operating the churn. As soon as the process of churning is complete the spindles -7 are withdrawn and the dashers 8 elevated out of the churn, thereby permitting the effective cleansing of the interior. i

I-Iaving v thus described; my invention and its construction, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by means of Letters Patent, is-

I An improved multipledasher churn, consisting of areceptacle for cream, a detachable cover therefor, spindles projected through the side walls of said receptacle, "rotatable gear-wheel will effect the opposite rotation of the dashers, the whole constructed, arranged and adapted for operation, suhstantitially as herein shown and described. 7

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN LIEBLANG.
